PITTSBURGH, June 15, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- II‑VI Incorporated (Nasdaq:IIVI) today introduced fiscal year 2012 full year revenue and earnings guidance. The following guidance was prepared prior to, and is not adjusted to reflect, the effect of the Company's upcoming two-for-one stock split scheduled for June 24, 2011 to shareholders of record as of June 3, 2011.

The Company reiterates previously-announced guidance issued on April 26, 2011 for the fourth fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2011 of revenues ranging from $129 million to $134 million and earnings per share ranging from $0.68 to $0.73, and for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 of revenues ranging from $500 million to $505 million and earnings per share ranging from $2.58 to $2.63.

For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012, the Company expects revenues to range from $565 million to $580 million and earnings per share to range from $2.80 to $2.95.

Francis J. Kramer, president and chief executive officer of II-VI Incorporated stated, "Our initial guidance for fiscal year 2012 reflects growth in Infrared Optics and other industrial markets as well as a record backlog of orders slated for delivery in the year ahead. After considering current order patterns in telecommunication markets, we expect modest growth in our Near-Infrared Optics business. And, we have tempered our military business expectations for the next fiscal year due to the current lack of visibility in U.S. military orders. All in all, you can expect II-VI Incorporated to deliver another solid year of ten-to-fifteen percent growth in both revenues and earnings per share in fiscal year 2012."

On June 15, 2011, the Company replaced its existing $60.0 million unsecured credit facility with a new $50.0 million unsecured credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). The Company has the option to request an increase in the size of the Credit Facility in an aggregate additional amount not to exceed $30.0 million. The Credit Facility has a five-year term and has interest rates ranging from LIBOR plus 0.625% to LIBOR plus 1.50% based on the ratio of total consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA. PNC Bank, National Association is the sole lender under the Credit Facility.
